Fish the Blue Ridge

Fly fishing in North Carolina's High Country revolves around the cold, clear waters of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where float-worthy tailwaters and tumbling backcountry creeks hold three distinct species of trout. Our partner, The Speckled Trout Outfitters in Blowing Rock, puts you within easy reach of it all - drift-boat days on the legendary Watauga and South Holston Rivers for hard-fighting rainbows and trophy browns, plus walk-and-wade adventures on remote high-elevation streams where wild, native brook trout eagerly rise to a dry fly. With seasoned local guides, top-tier equipment, and flexible custom itineraries built around your group, a trip to this special slice of Appalachia rewards solo anglers, families, and corporate groups alike with world-class trout fishing and genuine mountain hospitality.
